So I did look at the distributer and it looked clean. I'm not sure how to test it but what I am thinking that some wire was bumped out of place because it started that same day. The ignition coil fuse wouldn't be in the fuse box under the dash on the driver's side would it?
As far as the tightening piece, here is a picture. What I tightened was a bolt a little ways back in the picture that I could still reach from the hood.
Again thanks for the help!
